As Winston finally cracked down on his fear of rats, he chose to betray Julia. From this scene, I expected that he wouldn't ever go back to his normal life and I assumed that Julia and his relationship would end.
However, it was still hard to see this lifestyle playout for Winston. The reason why this is not a happy ending is that although Winston didn't die, he was left with such a small piece of himself. Honestly, I still can't decide if living as an empty shell of who you used to be is better than dying.
What do you guys think of this ending? Is Winston's life good now? He is an alcoholic and still seems miserable. Wouldn't it be so hard to live after going through months of torture and having your identity taken away?
